Barcelona team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Getafe

Sports Mole rounds up Barcelona's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's La Liga clash with Getafe.

Barcelona will be eager to make it back-to-back La Liga wins for the first time this season when they travel to Getafe this weekend.

The Spanish champions have endured a difficult start to the 2019-20 campaign, although a 2-1 home victory over Villarreal on Tuesday night eased some of the pressure on head coach Ernesto Valverde.

The Catalan giants will now be looking to win away from home for the first time this term when they make the trip to the Spanish capital.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Barca's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the meeting with Getafe.
